[DeTomaso] NPC - Penetrating oils test

[Asa Jay Laughton]

It appears Acetone is readily available at Napa (and probably other  
auto parts chains).  As little as one quart for about $15.  And who  
doesn't have a bottle of ATF just hanging out in the garage?

But why didn't they test Original Formula Coca-Cola?
